Nanometer‐thick 2D carbon structures (“carbon nanosheets”) are processed from commercially available expanded graphite. These carbon nanosheets are then incorporated in various polymers to produce flexible nanocomposites that exhibit record‐setting anisotropic thermal conductivities, which may prove highly valuable in many technological applications.
